Quebec (eastern Kanata) flow-thru (income tax deducted shares) was always stronger which kept their geos/drillers/prospectors working. This allowed, with Soquem, Cambior and a bit more money from the govt. for a stronger training effect. They seem to have more drillers and miners in general. More inventive to do things like mine narrow vein gold. Val d'Or is quite the mining community. Those kind of veins would probably not be in production anywhere else in the world! Still the bush workers are a rare breed anywhere these days. In 1937 1200 people took prospecting courses in Ontario. You rarely hear about that short of thing today. And you had to pass the course too. Some people had to repeat the course! (I think Koan did that at least once) BTW the most people who took the course of any community was Hamilton. Now you would need a real dragnet to find anyone interested in prospecting in Hamilton today! Maybe for oil and gas ...
